The irony is not lost on me that I’m posting this to social media. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hi!
Let's have this #introduction.

I'm a biology student based in Northern Germany, interested in #ecology and #entomology, especially #beetles

Currently, I'm working on my bachelor's thesis about the biodiversity of rove beetles ( #Staphylinidae) in a Hamburg nature reserve.

My posts will be in English and German and you'll hopefully find a lot of #nature pictures here.

Besides #insects, I'm also interested in #photography, #books / #reading and #baking

I'm not new on Mastodon itself, but I missed #biology related content, so be the change, I guess.

"I've seen some of the so-called art coming from the new regime, and I understand why they're stealing everyone else's art. It's because they can't make it themselves. But then art is a prophet, prophets have souls, they have none, ergo they have no art." ~~ from '33 Place Brugmann' by Alice Austen

Am reading short stories by Raymond Chandler, and this intro is just brilliant:

"IT MUST HAVE been Friday because the fish smell from the Mansion House coffee-shop next door was strong enough to build a garage on."

New blogpost:

# "What goes on at a meeting of the Silicon Corridor Linux User Group in 2025"

In this gripping* exposé** which will probably*** be covered in Cosmopolitan, Heat, or Hello magazines, I discuss what goes on at a meeting of a Linux user group in Reading.

I honestly don't remember why I started writing this one.

I'm looking for a non-amazon reader for e-books. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Open to all suggestions but ideally something that doesn't tie me into a particular platform and lets me read indie-published as well as mainstream published books.

I'm an author so have no issue paying for ebooks through online bookshops. While I am trying to avoid giving money to amazon, I am very happy to keep paying authors and publishers!
